Summer. Pride.

I'm sure you folks have already planned your summer trips and, if you're into them, your Pride Celebrations. Don't forget about L.A. At The Beach, the official Black Pride of L.A. Or Sunday afternoons/evenings at The Abbey! L.A. does have some great opportunities to offer.

June, by the way, is official LGBT Pride month (though for some of us in the community, accepting the "B" and "T" or even those who are questioning or choose not to label is a challenge... that's further discussion). So whether you're part of the community or an ally, it's always cool to stop on by and show support for those who celebrate their lives openly and without shame.

Hope your weekend is all you want it to be... and that you're making this the summer you'll tell lots of stories about come winter! Oh, and were ARE you planning to travel or do this summer?

At The Beach will be my first real pride event, black or otherwise....so it's safe to say that I'm highly excited about it. And what's even better is that it's taking place in my backyard! WOOHOO! Will you be going?
